We are Dianne & Rod Frazer. We're the owners of Where Stags Roar, a small selection of 4-star holiday homes in Newtonmore, the heart of the Cairngorms National Park, in the Scottish Highlands. We built WSR up over the last twenty years and are proud recent winners of the prestigious 'Best Self Catered Accommodation Highlands and Islands Tourism' awards, and were national finalists in the Scottish Thistle accommodation awards. We're also ski instructors, who worked mostly in the French Alps and now enjoy skiing closer to home, and we're passionate about Scotland and the outdoors :) Please note that our check-in time is 4pm and check out is by 10am - thank you for your understanding and for not arriving earlier at the property - there are lovely local cafes and plenty of things to do if you arrive in the area ahead of these timings (such as a walk up Glen Banchor, visiting Ruthven Barracks, Dalwhinnie distillery, Highland Folk Museum, Loch Insh and lots more). Thank you for your understanding and your co-operation. We look forward to welcoming you to the Highlands, or as they say in Scottish Gaelic "Céad Míle Fáilte" - A Hundred Thousand Welcomes! We respect diversity and inclusion.

Baltinna East is a perfect getaway for couples. The Baltinnas (each sleeping 2) are a pair of adjoining but completely separate lodge style properties. The acclaimed Scottish architects that designed Baltinna created a beautiful light filled contemporary space in East with the use of partially open, double-height living room to great effect. With wood-burning stove and oak floors, there is an open-plan modern kitchen/dining area. The well equipped kitchen area has dishwasher, washing machine, full oven, hob, microwave, freezer and fridge. East also benefits from some nice practical touches like a separate utility/drying room with pulley - really useful for the hikers, bikers and kayakers who enjoy staying here all year round. TV in living space with Freesat and DVD player with selection of DVDs. There is a stylish wet room with shower, wc and wash hand basin downstairs. The first floor bedroom (with kingsize bed) looks down on the dining area below, and has wooden beams strung with romantic twinkly lights. As a subtle nod to the cabin/lodge styling of Baltinna you'll find mountain and ski memorabilia & art throughout. There are roof windows with electric blinds, and a seat upstairs too to enjoy a book from the extensive library of Scottish books, or listen to music on the portable JBL bluetooth speakers. There is also a wash hand basin with plenty of space for toiletries in the bedroom. Outside there's a small sitting out area, and front and back garden - perfect for our long Highland summer evenings.
